WR prospect Laviska Shenault Jr. says he’s 100% after core surgery

Laviska Shenault Jr., one of the top wide receivers in this week’s NFL draft, told ESPN’s Josina Anderson that he is 100% healthy after undergoing core muscle surgery last month.

Shenault told Anderson on Monday that he was expected to need six to eight weeks to recover from the March 3 operation, but that he was “feeling good starting the fifth week.”

Dr. William Meyers, who performed the surgery on Shenault, reportedly sent a letter to all 32 NFL teams last week, telling them that he expects the former Colorado star to be fully cleared by April 25.

According to multiple reports, Meyers wrote in the letter that he “watched Laviska go through regular football drills yesterday at 5½ weeks [post-op], and he looked terrific.”
